Packing a Healthy Lunch

Trying to make sure to pack healthy, nutritious food for my son's lunch, but let's be honest...when I look up healthy school lunchbox choices online, I get all these veggie based sammies & gourmet looking cuisines. My kid just wants super simple foods that are easy to eat. So far, this is what I send him.

I send him with one Main food item, a fruit, a veggie, a whole grain (if the main doesn't include one), a yogurt and a small treat. Water to drink.

MAIN ENTREE
Turkey (sliced rotisserie or Healthy Ones), cheese on whole wheat
Organic peanut butter & honey on whole wheat (sometimes fruit spread)
Ham and Cheese on wheat
Baked beans with Beef franks....this is his fave, but higher in sugar than I like.
I also do inside out turkey/ham roll ups...roll meat around a cheese stick, no bread
Or roll ups with whole wheat tortilla, meat, and shredded cheese

About Me

I am a stay-at-home Mom. I have always loved to save money, get a great deal, and find ways to earn extra money on the side. Recently, our financial situation has become worrisome...causing me to search far and wide for ways to save, so I'm passing them on to YOU! Let's save some money together!

Just a Reminder

Remind yourself that the most important things in life are not things that can be purchased. Look for value in the things that NO amount of money can buy- having faith in a wonderous God, a smile upon your child's face, a healthy body...adding these investments to your portfolio will surely enrich your life.
